CrossCountry Trains in the UK still getting blocked, latest Ray ID 7089bbaf2d4d72a2

1020
 

I am getting error 1020 on my iPad but not on my iPhone (both connected to the same router) any ideas on what settings to change on the iPad to gain connection (no VPN’s are on).
thx

Still have the problem at my office (and also encountered it at the Hampton Inn Tucson Airport, though I didn't save the IP there). Here are some recent dates/ray IDs from the office resulting in the 1020 errors:

• 5/12: 70a5b8719b585782
• 5/16: 70c6467559ae82c3
• 5/23: 70feeff93c26060e

Had the Access Denied (1020) problem this weekend when staying at the Marriott Marquis in DC
5/29: 713387a9b88015c3

I'm still getting 1020 (new text is "access denied") on most Astrill servers (e.g. Los Angeles Supercharged and San Jose Supercharged are two of the better ones). Can't you just get an Astrill account, test, and whitelist?

I've been getting constant Cloudflare errors all day. It makes reading anything extremely hard.

Still an issue at my office; on 6/16, generated the following ray ID: 71c58c8449ba19cf

Any ideas? I can't use a VPN on my office PCs, and we use a big corporate ISP (Lumen), so it seems strange that Cloudflare has completely blacklisted our IPs.

I'm still getting them and today it's now generating Captchas.

Please fix the Astrill servers that we use. This isn't a difficult task; all you need to do is get an Astrill account and try the top 50. I'm honestly shocked that you guys haven't delivered on this simple request.

So I'm now at 10 days of constant cloudflare errors and day 3 of it requiring captchas, except the pictures are so blurry you can't even tell what you are selecting.

And another train where Flyertalk is blocked!

Trying to access from Eurostar, got Error Code 1020, Ray ID 7269eade5c027300

Why does Flyertalk hate train wifi so much? :(

Its not that Flyertalk hates trains, it's that the IP addresses associated with users on that shared train WiFi have previously been up to no good, and the reputational score for those IP addresses has been ranked as poor.

Flyertalk subscribes to a service where they choose to deny access to IP addresses that are a known source of troublemakers. This is in part because the security posture of the forum software is quite poor and the ability to defend against spam postings, and DDoS attacks is limited. So by blocking IP addresses of a poor or bad reputation they are looking to preserve the uptime of the site. Of course determined attacks will still prevail but it makes it more complicated for attackers as they have to use IP addresses of a higher reputation, which usually means more expense.

Office is still blocked, with the following recent rays (all times EDT/GMT-4)

• 72924137a90957b8 for 7/11/22 10:33am
• 72d50ff07b1158ba for 7/19/22 1:09pm
• 733fce312cf959f1 for 8/1/22 12:03pm
• 7358fc3c1f008250 for 8/4/22 1:24pm

What's funny is that we pay more for this ISP to not look like it's associated with the government at all. Guess they do too well at that, and Cloudflare thinks it's a "bad guy" IP.

Would be nice if we could at least whitelist a subnet of it. Not a lot of FTers at the office (I only see 1 other person ever with an account from my IP there), but it's annoying to have to go to the lobby to use my phone to get to FT on days I am physically in the office.

Haven't been able to get around cloudflare for more than a month. A private corporate network with fewer than 100 ip addresses. We're not a big shop. Ironically, our tech overlords installed cloudflare last year. So we have cloudflare blocking... cloudflare.

Slowness in loading thread and "get stuck" when posting
 

Two issues I first noticed yesterday.
- It sometimes takes a very long time loading threads and the browser progress indicator "gets stuck" about halfway and doesn't resolve even after waiting several minutes. Opening a new browser tab and reloading the page works most of the time.
- When I post comments, the browser progress indicator sometimes "gets stuck" about halfway and doesn't resolve even after waiting several minutes. But if I open a new tab and open the thread, my reply has been posted even though the action doesn't complete in the first tab.

I have seen this using Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. Clearing cookies and cache doesn't resolve the issue. I have not seen this on any other website. My internet upload and download speeds are normal.

I'm currently at EZE. On the LATAM Lounge wifi:

No problems accessing FT from the free airport wifi:

Two of Astrill's best servers (Los Angeles Supercharged and San Jose Supercharged) are STILL blacklisted. Would it kill you to clear just these two?

I’m in a hotel for the next 4 months and the hotel WiFi IP seems to be blocked by Flyertalk.

Error 1020
RAY 75dcb54e6bd4f8d1

Did the block start suddenly during the stay, or was the blocking of FT access in place when you initially checked in to the hotel?

f you take the IP address you have at the hotel and check that it's not widely blacklisted by reputable companies, then it's possibly a manually loaded IP address block that Cloudfare did after FT/IB Admins/privileged actors loaded the IP address for blocking. Removing the block should be easy. That's what error 1020 suggests.

Are you suggesting that, if we post affected IP addresses here, maybe in a wikipost (to keep them all in one place), IB people could whitelist them and all would be peachy?

No. But PMing IB/FT admins may be a way to get a blocked IP address removed from the FT site-level blacklist using Cloudflare.

Using AirVPN servers in Chicago/NYC and FT has them blocked ☹

Keep on getting blocked on the train Wifi (Great Western Railway) here in the U.K.

Starting to receive random errors:

After working fairly well I once again am getting blocked from ANY VPN IP from either Private Internet Access or Express VPN. I don't use those to spoof my location, I use them for security. As an example, here is the IP address I recently used: 208.83.82.208 I get an error 1020.

Are you still blocked as of today when trying to use FT from that IP address?

It seems that Cloudflare is blocking the SNCF passenger WiFi. So up to 300,000 travelers each day on the TGV cannot access Flyertalk. No VPN involved.

Thank you. Are you using a VPN?

No.

David

Was trying to connect via VPN this morning. I use the Mozilla VPN which has its backend services provided by Cloudflare. Have always hit a wall. I understand the need to block spammers, but a travel forum for travelers that doesn't let you use a VPN when at an airport. *puzzled look*

Have you run the IP address to see if it’s been flagged by Cloudfare more generally as a problem IP address or if it’s an FT-specific flagging? I’ve seen cases where FT seems to be the only site for which Cloudflare puts up a block for some IP addresses that seem generally clear everywhere else with regard to US-based public sites.

I haven't but I'm now able to get back into FlyerTalk via the host that generated that error previously posted. So don't know if cloudflare gave up or it was just one of those bad days.

I have been getting the following error code when accessing the flyertalk website. Both on Chrome and Edge. I am using Nord VPN.

Error 1005

Ray ID: 79da344e285bc44d • 2023-02-22 19:42:19 UTC

Access denied

What happened?

The owner of this website (FlyerTalk - The world's most popular frequent flyer community - FlyerTalk is a living, growing community where frequent travelers around the world come to exchange knowledge and experiences about everything miles and points related.) has banned the autonomous system number (ASN) your IP address is in (212238) from accessing this website.

Are you using a VPN service like NordVPN? If you are I'd look at the following thread (starting around post #200).

Cloud flare Error 1020
 

Getting error when trying to access via laptop on EERO mesh WiFi with NordVPN active. Here’s the error details provided by Cloudflare:

Error code: 1020

Should note that can access with my iPhone over same EERO mesh WiFI without VPN which is how I’m sending this.

Suggestions?

acces denied - error 1020
 

Hi

can you help me please ?

since few days i sometimes get access denied to flyertalk

see screenshot below , i guess its due to VPN and cloudfare , but otherwise no idea cause details arent really verbose



https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b268bfdda8.png

whats the reason for that ?

It seems that the internet provider you're using when you get those messages - Hydra in France - has got itself onto a list of naughty networks at Cloudflare, and Internet Brands - the people who run and host Flyertalk have applied various defensive controls at Cloudflare to protect the website and forum. Unfortunately flyertalk gets more than it's fair share of bad people trying to do inappropriate things to flyertalk and Internet Brands appear to be quite aggressive with the controls available to protect the service.

Lets call shield and the avengers to solve this problem once and for all :p:p:p:p:p

It seems it was due to VPN , i used nordvpn to access websites blocked outside of france so thats the most likely reason

When i previously used nordvpn to access website through exit points located in another country for a long time , and never had any problem

No i know , will pay attention to this , thanks for feedback
